Conditional use · Planning application
Contractor shop and equipment staging area on 3.9 acres of farmland denied
The Canyon County Hearing Examiner denied a permit on July 20 for a fiber-optic installation company to stage equipment and trucks for about 14 weekday employees. The examiner found the use did not fit the county's comprehensive plan and would harm nearby properties over time.
